Lia Green's Father Jailed For Daughter's Death

A father who lost his temper and killed his three-year-old daughter with an "immense" blow to the stomach has been jailed for seven years.

Richard Green, 23, lashed out in anger at his child, Lia, as he resented looking after her on his own.

He was also seething with contempt towards his partner, Lia's mother, Natalie Critchley, 21, whom he suspected of having an affair, Preston Crown Court heard.

Sentencing Green, Mr Justice MacDuff said: "You lost all control. You hit, or perhaps kicked, Lia so violently that you caused the perforation of her duodenum.

"The force required to do that is immense."

He added to his "wickedness" by then not calling an ambulance in the hours that followed, said the judge.

Critchley, who was herself jailed for 21 months, also failed to seek help when she realised Lia was hurt and joined Green in covering up the injuries through "mistaken loyalty" to try to protect Green rather than her daughter.

Critchley covered up for her boyfriend, rather than protecting her child

The judge told Critchley: "You did play roulette with her life. You did not want to have to explain how she came to suffer her dreadful injuries and you hoped she would recover."

After an ambulance was eventually called, the defendants "jointly concocted a series of breathtaking lies to save your own skins", said the judge.

Following sentencing, Detective Superintendent Andy Murphy said: "The sentences reflect the severity of the crimes committed but no punishment served will ever bring little Lia back.

"Both Richard Green and Natalie Critchley will have time to reflect on their actions, actions that led to the death of their own child.

"This was a complex and difficult case to investigate and we were determined to get to the bottom of what happened."
